My Roots

I am a tree

My roots run 10000 km East

My roots run to the kites in Kabul

My roots run to the breeze in Parwan

My roots run to the pomegranate trees in Kandahar

My roots run to the Buddha statues in Bamyan

My roots run to poetry nights in Herat

My roots run to the mountain peaks in Paktia

My roots run to the flowers in Nangarhar

My roots run to my land, my motherland

Afghanistan
